Declan for a number of months whilst he was on assignment to Siemens. It
was quickly recognisable of the extent of Declan's great professionalism
and experience, by the manner he was able to obtain the nature of the
projects being assigned and the direction given to his teams, whilst
still maintaining a calm persona with a sense of humour throughout.;
even in the face of adversity"

“I have engaged with
Declan on a number of public sector related projects over the past 6
months. I have found him to be a consummate professional, highly
intelligent and completely dedicated to helping grow, not just my
understanding of the public sector, but its implications to my business.
The sector intelligence and general market awareness that he has
provided, has been used to craft the strategies and direction needed to
take to my organisations' most senior leadership teams. He has directly
given his thought-leading views to a number of officer-level
individuals, and has been instrumental in advancing my organisations
understanding of the public sector, and how we can become a more
influential supplier. I can highly recommend Declan to any
organisation wanting to gain the services of a public sector
specialist.”
